About the Book
A seminal classic, Japanese Plays provides a vivid cross section of Japanese theater, its beauty and powerBook Synopsis
Classic works from Noh, Kyogen, and Kabuki theaters Nothing reflects the beauty of life as much as Japanese theater. It is here that reality is held suspended and the mind is filled with words, music, dance, and mysticism. In this groundbreaking book, Professor A.L. Sadler's translations come alive, bringing the mysteries of Noh, Kyogen, and Kabuki to modern readers worldwide. This influential classic provides a cross-section of Japanese theater that gives the reader a sampler of its beauty and power. Sadler includes 40 plays spanning the following three genres:Review Quotes
"The translated dialogue flows smoothly making the plays easy to understand. This is something which is extremely helpful given that the language used in most plays in their original form is likely to be historically antiquated Japanese that can be difficult to understand even for native Japanese speakers." --Diverse Japan blog
